Cloud?Bear Sir : As I have been n constant reader of the Soil of the South for the last five years, and an overseer for the last eighteen years, without any intermission, with the exception of two days during that time, and have been raising, flattening and killing hogs, more or less, all the time. Therefore, if you will allow mo a small space in your valuable paper, I will give 3'ou and your readers my experience in feeding hogs upou cotton seed, and the woights and average of my hogs for the last three years. There has been a great deal said about feeding hogs on cotton ?eed ; a great many people think that cotton seed will kill theiu. I am muc.Ii of their opinion, if tliey let tlicm go to tlio seed beforoiliev have been hented, they are bui$ to kill them. The way I manage them is this : I haul my seed out after they, have been thoroughly heated, and put them iu a close pen, so that the stock can not get to them any more than they can to my corn, which is in the crib. As I haul them out, 1 put about one gallon of salt to the wagon load ; I have the salt sprinkled all through the seed as I throw them out of the wagon. They are then ready for feeding to the hogs?I mean to hogs that I intend to kill at the expiration of the year.? I never let my sows, pigs nor shoals have any cotton seed. I commence feeding my pork hogs about the 1st of February?I feed them about six months in the year, once a day, upon cotton seed. For the sake of convenience, I feed them in the morning with Lhc scud, at night with corn. I give them from one to one and a half ears of corn a day per head, nil the time that I am feeding them with the cotton seed. They keep fat and growing all through the summer and fall. Now, to prevent iny sows and pigs from the cotton Beed, I have a lot of about one half acre, made close and strong, with a pig-pen made inside of this lot; I also have a good strong gate to let my sows and pigs through into the lot. Now to get them separated, and to their places. The first thing the bog-feeder does in the morning, ho goes and opens the gate. The sows being accustomed to being fed in this lot, they all run in, the hog-feeder Knocking Uaci such as he does not want to go in the lot. Uc then feeds the sows and pigs?the pigs in the pen, the sows in the lot. The gate is made fast so they cannot get out; this is all done with very little trouble to the hog-feeder. He then goes to the seed pen, throws out about as many seed as he thinks the pork hogs will cat up clean, (the hogs have followed him from the regular feeding place.) He then returns b.ack to the lot, opens the gate, aiul the sows and pigs go out at their leisure, but before they can get to the seed pen, the pork hogs have eaten all the seed; so they get none. I put my pork hogs up invariably by the tirst or the middle of September; I put them in a lot of about two acres, where they bavo plenty of water to drink and wallow in. I feed them three times a day with corn, in the usual way, for some time; I then, to ehapge their food a little, boil enough for one feed oncp a day?I boil it husk and all?rtUrow iq a few ashes and a little stilt, which they eat very readily ; I will also occasionally cut off a few green potato vines and throw to them, which is a considerable treat By feeding them in this way, they grow and fatten (t]l the tiipe. I kill thein about the first of De cember, Now I will give you the weight and average of my hog* for Uie last three 4 years: In 1854, killed Q8, weight, 21,787, peerage, 2221 M 1865, w 87, " 10,597, ? 226* ? 1866*.

Now, Mr. Editor, thero are n great many farmers in this prairie cobntry wbo have to bny pork or bacon nearly all the time, and pay upon an average for pork, Q i<2 cents, bason 10 1-2 cents, which amount to something worth saving, which cao be doii^, with a littlo trouble and care, and a few cotton seed properly managed. Yours respectfully,' E. SANDERSON. . Columbus, Miss., Feb. 27,1857. ^ f > ? . How to be Beau ti/ui.-?Upb.wp* thus puts on the right track fthosewho 4esire to be beautiful : MIf man or woman either, wish tt> ?al ize the foil power 'pf personal beauty, it must be by Cheerisliing noble actions and purposes?by having something to do, and something to Jive for which is worthy of humanity, and which, by expanding the capacities .of ifce soyl, gives expansion and symmetry to li?.o body wljioh contains it." I ?^T GLAVEKY 1? TUX B0IUPTURK8. Wo make ilio following extract from nn article in tlio Now York Ji'rpress :? Servant* and masters, children nnd fatlicm, wives nnd husbands, nro llto organisations of Boctn\ life?nnd governors, nnd governed, tlie organization of political life.? The Apostles Paul,?as well as our Saviour everywhere and at all times taught subordination nnd obedience, in each nnd nil of theso relationships. It is nowhere contended?that in the eyes of God, tho soul of the African is not of equal importance to that of tho whito man,?but depriving the African of n vote is no more injustice than depriving tho wife, the mother, the iristet, the daughtor, or the mnle minor or the alien. To mankind are given different talents,?for different purposes,?to some ten talents, to softe five, to some but one,?thus " to every man according to his several abilities," showing the inequality of God's gifts to man, and the intended inequality of social and political organizations. It does not follow then, because we are the children of one common father, that society should be of one dead level, and there should be no servant to obey a master,?no children to obey a parent,?no wife to be subordinate to a husband, &c., &c. The ten and five while talents of society see no right in the African one talent to govern them, or to be put on equality with it, and yet tlie souls of all are enii.il in tliA pvm nf ? and to whom much is given, of them much shall be required. Paul of all the Apostles,?being in tho midst of the Bond as well as the Free?with thousands and tens of thousands of slaves before him?under the Roman Government where slnvery was ever of the harshest kind ?nevor?never?it must bo remarked, j preached an Abolition sermon?but on the contrari', ever, just the reverse. Wo need not add on |;erfi the celebrated Epistle of Paul to Philemon?the Christian Minister residing at Colosse?who owned tlio fugitive slave Onesimus and whom Paul I sent back from Rome to his master, at Co* iuss?. j.'hui nrsi convened Unesunus to Christianity, and tiia fugitive slave's religion then caused him to desire to l>e sent back to his injured master, while Paul pleaded eloquently for his kind and Christian reception. To understand what that Slavery was to which Onesiinus was restored by rani-, we i must look to the Roman laws of Slavery, and compare them with the American.? Philemon?under the Roman Law, could have put Oncsimus to death. Qnesimus could not contract a marriage ; Oncsimus could o%yi\ no properly?but all his acquisitions belonged to Philemon. A runaway slave (fugitive) could not lawfully be received or harbored?to conceal him was furlum. (Hence, the Apostle obeyed the law in surrendering the fugitive.) The master was entitled to punish tlio slave wheuevcr he pleased, and it was the duty of all authorities to give Philemon (the Christian Minister) aid in recovering Oncsimus. A norson lippmnn n elfjvrt l?r- I 1 " W,M,V W"1 ture in war, as well as by bis mother's slavery (jure gentium.) (Onesimus may have been captured in war. The Apostle does not tell ue.) A free person might become a slave in various ways, in consequence of positive law (jure civile.) A free woman, who cohabited with a slave, might be made a slave he^elf. Slaves were made of those who evaded military service. The State owned slaves (servt jiublici.) Slaves were obtained through war and commerce. The century before Christ there were two servile wars. Athenseus states?that very many Romans possessed 10,000 and 20,000 slaves; a freedman under Augustus left at his death 4,116. The games of tbe^mpbi. theatre required an immense number of slaves. The Gladiators in Italy, (13. C. 73) under Spartacus, defeated a Roman Consular army, and were not subdued till B. C. 71, when 60,000 of them were said to have fallen in battle. Slaves of great beauty and rarity were not exhibited to public gaze 111 me common slave market, hut were shown to purpliaser8 >n private. Slaves that came from the Bast had thejr ears bored. Eunuchs (slaves) brought a very high price ; and Martial speaks of beautiful boys who sold for as much as 100,000 or 200,000 sesterces each?$4,420 or $8,840 of our money. Literary men and doctors brought a high price. The offences of slaves were punished often with barbarity. Runaway slaves and thieves were branded on the forehead with a mark (stigma.)? Slaves were also punished by being hung up with weights suspended to their feet? Masters might work their slaves as many hours in the day as they pleased.

It is n fragment of tlio old lifo of Egypt? n Irno typo of I ho luxurious fertility of tlio classic country of tlio Nile, nnd unquestionably tlio most truly historical of any escu- , lent wo possess. Tho circumstances "that led to tho discovery of ilirs companion yf mummies nnd inhabitants of pvraminds, are in themselves as interesting as tlio plant itself is distinct from every known member of its useful family. During the ozplorn* tions of Egypt by Sir Gardiner Wilkinson, a vase was found in a mummy pit, the ago of which was computed at about three thousand years. This vase, herinetrically scaled, was presented to the Brish Museum ; Mr. 1'ettigrew, the librarian to the late Duke of Sessex, proceeded to open the vase to ascertain its contents, and in so doing unfortunately broke it in pieces. The interior contained a mass of dust, and a few gtains of wheat and vetches, and on examining further a few peas were found, entirely shrivelled, of a resin yellow color, and as hard as stone. It was known that mummy wheat had been resuscitated after an interment of fivo thousand years; and it was determined that the first peas ever found in a mummy vase should be subjected to the experiinont of revival. Mr. Pettigrew accordingly distributed amongst his learned friends these dessicated peas, reserving three for himself as mere curiosities. Those who tried to grow the peas failed, and no more was thought about them till the remaining lit rna \r aca /vtuAn 4/\ VIII ffviw ^ivvii tv iUl* UHiiidlUlJUf Wl Ilighgate. Mr. (irimstone tried liis Land at them, subjected them heat and moisture, and, after {thirty days, one miserable plant appeared above ground. By patient caro and ingenious cultuie, this plant was brought to prodcnco nineteen pods, which wero ripened and planted the next year; and thin was the foundation of the stock which is jnst beginning to be known as the Egyptain pea. Botanists were as much delighted as antiquarians at tho speess of the experiment, for it gave them a new variety of the greatest value and most distinct character. Its blossom is unlike every other pea; it more nearly resembles a bell than tho wings of a butterfly, and is veined with green lines on a white ground. Tho blossoms break at every joint in clusters of t'KOJ four nn<? wight, :tiin ar?i aiiCcuriucu by pods that protude crookedly through them, o:ich pod containing from five to ten peas, which, when cooked, are deliciously flavored, and melt in the uiouth like morrow; in fact, there is no pea to equal it; bo that dust}' Egypt has conferred upon us, through those few shriveled seeds, a palatial benediction.?National Magazine. An Unfortunate Habit.?Somo persons are in the habit of dwelling upon and greatly magnifying every little injury they recoive at the hands of others. They thus render themselves very disagreeable to those in whose ears they are continually pouring their complaints ; and at the same time greatly injure themselves in the estimation of such, whilst they are contributing very much to their own personal misery.? IIow much better would it be, were sucb persons to bury their little troubles, or at least to Keep uiem ontirely out of sight I?= It is to be presumed that they do not sufficiently reflect upon the true nature of their 'conduct, else they would be more careful to avoid it than they are. Jamieson forcibly exposes the groat folly of such conduct by the following. illustration:?"A man strikes me with a sword, and inflicts a wound. Suppose, instead of binding up the wound, I am showing it to everybody, and after it has been bound up I am taking off the bandage continually and examining the depth of the wound,'and make it fester till my limb becomes greatly inflamed, and 1 1 1 ? I nij guuursu neaun is materially aifccted ; is there a person in the world who would not call me a fool! Now, such a fool is he, who by dwelling upon little injuries,.or insults, or provocations, causes them to agitate and inflame his mind. How much better were it to put a bandage over the wound, and never look at it a^ain."?German Reformed Messenge. ?

IS. O. Hquiroa' liotea on Oentrnl America describe a wonderful cffuMon 6f n ilufd ronemhling blood near the to\ynof Vitud, in t,lio S.t?te of Honduras. It nppcars tlmt thero U continunlly oozing nn<l dropping from the roof of a cavern a rod liquid which upon fulling coagnlaU-a so an to pro cUely resemble blood. Liko blood it corrupts, insects deposit tlicir larva: in it; and dogs and buzzards resort to tbo cavern to eat it. Attempts have several times been made to obtain squio of this liquid for the purpose of analysis, but in all cases without success, in consequence of its rapiil decomposition, whereby the bottles containing it were broken. The small cavern or grotto during the day is visited by butzards and hawks, and at night by a multitude of vampyre bats for the purpose of feeding on the unnatural blood. It is situated on the border of a rivulet, which it keeps reddened ?v I via (I Diunii 1IV Wl II1C 11??UIU| WIIIOII llilb tho color, taste and smell of blood. In approaching the grotto,disagreeable odor is observed, nnd when it is. reached tliere may bo somo pools of the apparent blood in a state of coagulation Dogs eat it eagerly. J * The peculiarities of the liquid are considered duo to the rapid generation in this grotto of some very prolific species of infusoria. The California State Journal, remarking on the above, observes that the estero of the town of Monterey contains a species of blood red infusoria, (the larvaj of water insects,) which at certain seasons of tho yo/?r smells precisely like fresh fish, or, on exposure in a vessel, like putrid fish. It) some seasons it has been foun<l drieil in flakes, and of the intense color of Vermillion. Camphor vs. Strychnine.?The many eases of suicide and murder by means of strychnine which have occurred recently in England, have caused considerable inquiry respecting the deadly drug in qqestion.? A Mr. D. Wilson M. R. C. S. E., writes to the London Times, that camphor is a certain and sovereign antidote to strychnine. In his communication he says : Your impression of this day (February 18) records two more instances of life having b^en destroyed through the potent agency of strychnine. The great importance of an effectual antidote being made universally known must be ray excuse for begging a place in your columns for this brief communication. In vol. ii., page 554, of the Lancet of 1848, Dr. Pidduck rotates an interesting recovery from poisoning by strychnine.? The patient was a weekly man, afflicted with neauralgic pains, for Which a quarter of a grain of 'strychnine was taken .by mistake instead of one-sixteenth of a grain. jjive grains ot camphor wore administered in an emulsion, and almost immediately after taking the dose the spasms ceased. Another successful recovery is reported by Dr. Tewkesbury, of Portland, Maine, viz: A boy waB seized with convulsions after eating a biscuit containing one grain and a lialf, for the purppie df lcilling rats. The spasms were bo severe t!&t'immediate death seemed inoviUb.ia.tljpughay the usual remedies were resorted to* .Capaphor cpuld not be introduced into the stomach on account of the locked .jaw. Strong injections, therefore, of^ camphor were used and the body immersed in a camphor bath, and in a few hours the boy was comparatively well. ? Young America.?Qp Saturday evening a little boy not four- years of age, while going down Broadway, N. Y., was stopped by a crowd'of men, seated in front of the Broadway Hotel. One of the company, who had durinc the Avoninc mnrlfl r^nnnf/wl o ? -J efforts a( wit, said to tbe boy : M Sonny, <Joes your maraiuy know you're out r " Tbe little fellow very cooly-answered:: "Yes, air, my ma gave me three cents to buy a monkey ; are yo^ for sale'l" and passed on leaving tbe crowd convulsed with, laughter. ^ ..
